Can you believe it’s been seven months since the first Backstage Pass novel was born into this boy band lovin’ world? Now here were are….release day of the final installment of the series with the long-awaited ABBY & THE CUTE ONE. Squee!

Erin Butler did an amazzzzzing job with her story about the “baby” of our beloved boy band, Seconds to Juliet, but also she gave us a series ending we can all be proud of. ❤ ❤

Okay, okay, enough chitchat…

He’s cute. He’s famous. And he could ruin everything…

Every member of Seconds to Juliet has a girlfriend-except for Nathan Strong. Now the band’s manager is leaning hard on “The Cute One” to play the role of the band’s heartthrob. With the band’s sales in decline, it’s up to Nathan to keep the fans’ fantasy alive.

The plan is to stage a fake relationship and a fake breakup, and then let the fans fight to be the one to mend Nathan’s broken heart. Just one problem. There’s another girl in the picture-one Nathan can’t stay away from. In private, Nathan’s stealing kisses with the band’s new opening act, Abby Curtis.

If they’re caught, no one wins. Abby will be fired, and the band might not recover the success they need to survive. But even with the pressure mounting, Nathan and Abby can’t stop themselves from stealing one more touch, one more kiss. And it’s only a matter of time before it all falls apart.

This Entangled Teen Crush book is as forbidden as the secret romance it contains! It has hot kisses, graphic language, and extreme misbehaving. DO NOT GET CAUGHT WITH THIS BOOK…unless you want everyone to know you believe in true love.

Erin Butler is lucky enough to have two jobs she truly loves. As a librarian, she gets to work with books all day long, and as an author, Erin uses her active imagination to write the kinds of books she loves to read. Young Adult and New Adult books are her favorites, but she especially fangirls over a sigh-worthy romance.

She lives in Central New York with her very understanding husband, a stepson, and doggie BFF, Maxie. Preferring to spend her time indoors reading or writing, she’ll only willingly go outside for chocolate and sunshine—in that order.

Heyyy! Release days are always hyperly-nerve wracking, right? But for my brand new baby, KISSING HER CRUSH, I’m armed with many-a Hershey’s miniatures and a stupid caf-free Diet Coke to get me through today! ❤

Check out all the deliciously sweet love:

(***Warning: this book has tons of making out and even more chocolate. Have sweets and a hot guy within arms reach if you choose to read.)

He’s sweet trouble…

Natalie Holden wants three things: To be the best chocolate chemist in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to prove her chocolate recipe can help teenage depression, and to get over gorgeous Luke Elliott, the guy she’s had a crush on since birth. Unfortunately, he’s the microbiologist set to debunk her chocolate study. And, of course, he looks more delicious than ever!

Luke Elliott is still bitter over his divorce. Work is his passion now, and landing a huge promotion is just what he needs. What he doesn’t need is a crackpot trying to prove that chocolate cures depression. The last thing he expects is for the crackpot to be Natalie Holden–his “what if” girl from high school–or that she’d still tempt the hell out of him.

They may not see eye-to-eye on her project, but they can’t deny the explosive chemistry that keeps pulling them together. Even when it risks their jobs and the very different futures they both want…

In October, not only does the Texas weather FINALLY calm the heck down, but also my local art house theater plays Hitchcock movies all month. Can we say huzzah!

Since I can tell you’re wondering, Psycho has always been my favorite. Well, The Birds is actually my favorite. Well, okay, so maybe it’s a tie depending on my mood. The theater isn’t showing The Birds this year, but Psycho is this year’s last feature. Plus, I have it on DVD, so there shall be loads o’ Norman Bates and Mother this October. And there was much rejoicing. Also, I have a butt-load of Twilight Zones to watch, as well as Love At First Bite, Spider Baby and Watcher in the Woods. It’s going to be a heck of a month. ❤

I’m way too excited about my book releasing today. Not only is it with a brand new publisher (the lovely Gemma Halliday), but I am also venturing away from my comfy home of romance to take a stab at cozy mystery. (Pun intended, of course!) To celebrate, I’ve got a rafflecopter giveaway for your chance to win a super-cute lippy set from Sephora (check out the goodies HERE), or a gift card from Sephora.

But first . . . book stuff. 🙂

Maren Colepepper thought she had it all: a career at a fashion magazine, a successful boyfriend, and a glamorous New York lifestyle. She thought wrong. When her glamorous life suddenly goes belly up, Maren finds herself forced to take the only job she can find at a small town newspaper in the tiny northern California hometown she fled ten years ago.

While Maren expected her new job in no-wheres-ville to kill her with boredom, She never expected to be front row to a shooting on her very first day! Worse yet, Maren is knocked unconscious at the scene, and when she comes to, the body has gone missing and she’s been scooped by another reporter. Talk about a bad first impression. Now Maren is hot on the trail of the story of a lifetime, involving a shady lumber mill and the foresting of old-growth redwoods—a ginormous crime in her neck of the woods! Between her suddenly flirty new editor, her supremely hot new neighbor, and a lovably meddling family, Maren find small town life anything but boring. But if she can’t find the shooter before he strikes again, it may even become deadly!
